Anti-Cancer Substance Produced in Iran by Using Plant Extract
“One of the most important measures of the (Farhikhtegan) greenhouse (in Gorgan in Northern Iran) is the production of plant fungicide solution for disinfecting the seeds of ornamental plants and preparation of an anti-cancer substance by using plant extracts,” Mohsen Tajari told ANA.
He explained that the Iranian specialists at the Center also acquired the technical know-how of producing two types of ornamental flower seeds, saying, “We had a 200 percent increase in production in the first eight months of the current year compared to the same period last year.”
Earlier, in a relevant development, a knowledge-based company in Iran managed to produce Karla plant with completely organic methods to treat diabetes and fight cancer cells.
The knowledge-based ‘Tose’ey-e Ista Qand Medicinal Plants’ company active in Isfahan Scientific Research Town produced Karla plant organically which is effective in treating diabetes and fighting cancer cells.
“Karla plant helps fighting cancer by strengthening the body's immune system. The plant, which is one of the most bitter fruits in the world and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, resembles an unripe melon or pumpkin and is one of the famous vegetables in South Asia, the Amazon, East Africa and the islands located in the Caribbean Sea and South America to provide food and herbal medicine by using the plant’s roots, stem, leaf, fruit and seeds,” Gholam Hossein Nasouhi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He added that Karla prevents the absorption of heavy metals in the body which leads to prevention of cancer, noting that Karla can also protect a cancerous patient from side effects of chemotherapy to treat cancer.
“After three years of research on Karla plant and receiving the necessary licenses, we set up a workshop for processing the Karla powder without using pesticides and instead using biological fertilizers,” Nasouhi said.
